How likely would it be to get a simply bar installed somewhere in the library?
Details:
Thanks for all you do to keep the library safe and accessible for us! I love all of the exercise equipment in the library as it allows me to take breaks every hour or so to reset my body and mind. However, one thing that would make it even better would be a pull-up bar! How likely would it be to get a simply bar installed somewhere in the library? I'm sure there are some decent places on walls with studs in them. Or even a freestanding pullup bar would be fantastic! Thanks!
Answer:Hi:
we have had this request a few times over the past years. I am not sure we will get to it this year due to COVID, but I will look into it at the beginning of 2021. There were some safety concerns in the past, questions from Facilities if appropriate, and some of us in the library wondered about going to a pull-up bar because it seems a bit different from the more mild-type exercise options we have like the walking treadmills. Nonetheless, we will consider it. Could be possible. Thanks for using Tell Us and making the suggestion.
